sorries and prayers

i've been mia...i know. i'm sorry. i will catch up soon. in the meantime, a small, sweet boy needs your prayers.

you've heard me speak of stellan before. he's the sweet little man, (baby #4) belonging to mckmama.

stellan's svt has started up again and he as well as the rest of his family are in need of some major prayers. he and his mama and daddy will be flying soon to boston in an air ambulance to consult with his dr.'s there as the dr.'s in his hometown just don't know what to do for his little heart right now.

mckmama is updating her twitter page more frequently than her blog. you can follow along here.

the final moonwalk

today will go down as the saddest day in my non-reality world. it's the day mj will be memorialized by his fans and buried by his family. i am still not sure how i will ever complete my "bucket list", now that the #1 thing to do, see/meet mj, has gone and kicked the bucket.

what i wouldn't do/give to be in la right now attending this memorial. ah, nevermind, i'll watch it on tv...it's gonna be a madhouse there!

do you have a special memory of mj? have you been lucky enough to meet him or see him in concert? have something thrilling you just want to say or get off your chest about him? here's your chance. say what you have to say in the comments section here! it will be fun to see what others are thinking about him.


in other news...ok, well in other michael jackson news...

that's right, a crater on the moon will be designated in memoriam of the legendary "moonwalker".

according to the lunar republic society, the crater, previously designated as posidonius j, is located in the moon's lake of dreams (lacus somniorum). it measures approximately 22 kilometers (about 13.5 miles) in diameter, and is located adjacent to a 1,200-acre parcel owned by michael jackson in the lake of dreams.

the moon has always been symbolic throughout michael's life. in fact, did you know mr. jackson was among the largest private owners of lunar property?

of course here on earth, we will always remember michael for his trademark "moonwalk" dance move.

"not me" monday!

pretty sweet new logo mckmama has got herself, huh? it's been a few weeks since i did a "not me" monday post...either i've been really "good" or really lazy...not sure which, and if you think you know...please keep it to yourself!

and i'm off...

i did not seriously entertain the notion of flying to california for the michael jackson memorial service. so much so that i actually looked into flights/airfare and hotel accomodations...and signed up to be entered into the drawing for the tickets to the staples center to attend the memorial. nope, not me...because i didn't like him that much! and i certainly will not be a complete and total mess watching it on the tv tomorrow.

i definitely did not laugh when my son told my sister-in-law that "we don't go to church in july". not sure where he heard that. i mean, yes, we were camping this past weekend and we did not go, but i don't know where he came up with the entire month of july thing...even going as far as saying "pastor john misses me" too! i know i shouldn't have laughed, but i did. and to redeem myself, we will only miss church 50% of july. bad still, i know.

i certainly am not so obsessed with the twilight series books (read the first 2 in 2 weeks and am on the 3rd now) that when the alarm company for my husband's office called him this morning at 3 a.m. and he left to meet the police, that i did not grab my mini-maglite and the eclipse book and continue to read for the 45 minutes he was gone only to hurry and put the book away before he ascended the stairs back to bed. nope not me. i was sooooouuuuunnnndddd asleep.

so who's gonna jump on the mckmama "not me" monday bandwagon with me? bobbi? luci? come on...you know you want to!!
